Cowboys Trade Role Players for Draft Picks

The Dallas Cowboys, with a 7-9-1 record last season, are considering trading role players ahead of the 2026 NFL draft to acquire draft picks without weakening their roster. Players like Luke Schoonmaker, KaVontae Turpin, Malik Hooker, Jaydon Blue, and Caelen Carson could potentially fetch draft picks. Schoonmaker, a former second-round pick, might be traded for a day three pick due to his rookie deals remaining year and a deep tight end draft class. Turpin, with his speed on offense, could land a fourth-rounder from a team seeking a spark. Hooker, who reworked his deal, could be traded for a mid-to-late day three pick if a top safety is available in the draft. Blue and Carson, recent draftees, might not be worth trading yet, as their value is low. The Cowboys aim to build long-term health by swapping underperformers for fresh talent while keeping their offense strong.
